css invalid file geocities

[Rick Nelson]

I am trying to upload a css file to geocities but I get an invalid file. css is listed as allowable file types. any ideas?

[Tarmithius]

Post the file here for us to look at and maybe we can tell what the problem is. Make sure it is named with a css extension i.e. style.css

I don't know how to post my css file as a file with a css extension.

[Terminator1138]

just save as feature and make sure it has css extension....what program did you use to create your css file?

[Rick Nelson]

I created the css file using EvrSoft's First Page as save as css file type.

I previously had problems uploading html files created by First Page but was able to find a solution by adding an iso statement in the html file and then the upload went well. Now Geocities give me an error of Invalid File when I try to upload a .css file.

Thanks for your help.

[Terminator1138]

I wonder if anyone else has had a problem with this also. Maybe to overcome this error, try including the css file inside the html file and leaving out the separate css file altogether. I'm not sure who geocities is handling the file or if its FP. My guess its something to do with geocities site as I have not heard of anyone having issues with CSS file creation within FP2006.

If you copied the file contents to the clipboard, opened a new, empty file using notepad, and pasted the clipboard contents there before saving it as a .css file, the resulting file would have nothing to do with 1st page. If you then had trouble uploading it to Geocities as a .css file, you would know it wasn't a problem with 1st Page.
